ISO 15926 is an international standard for the representation of process plant lifecycle data. However, it is not easy to implement the part 2 - data model and the part 4 - initial reference data because of their complexity in terms of data structure and shortages of related development toolkits. To overcome
this problem, ISO 15926-7 (part 7) is under development. ISO 15926-7 specifies implementation methods for sharing and exchange of process plant lifecycle data, which is based on semantic web technologies such as OWL, Web Services, and SPARQL. For the application of ISO 15926-7, this paper
discusses how to represent technical specifications of process plant equipment by defining user-defined reference data and object information model with an example of reactor coolant pumps located in the reactor coolant system of an APR 1400 nuclear power plant.
